Sharp protrusions etc. may cause injury.

Hold the drive by both sides when carrying it.

SAFETY

Toshiba Corporation Digital Media Network Company

Page 6 of 153

Observe the following to prevent failure, malfunction or data loss.

Follow the specifications for 7. POWER SUPPLY (page17), 9. ENVIRONMENT (page 22, 23),

etc. when using.

Failure to do so may cause damage to the drive.

Observe cautions in 8.3 MOUNTING INSTRUCTION (page18) and 10.6 LOAD / UNLOAD

(page27 ) when handling, setting up, or using the drive.

Take anti-static measures in order to avoid damage to the drive when handling it.

The drive uses parts susceptible to damage due to ESD (electrostatic discharge).

Wear ESD proof wrist strap in accordance with the usage specified when handling a drive that is not in an anti-static

protection bag.

There is a certain probability of the drive causing failure including data error or data loss.

Take preventive steps such as backing up data etc. without exception in order to prevent loss etc. in cases where

data loss may result in loss or damage.

Please include this in the instruction manual etc. of the system in which this device is used and ensure that users

are made thoroughly aware of it.

Inserting or pulling out the drive when the power is turned on may cause damage to the drive.

Exchange the drive etc. after the power of HDD is turned off.

Extreme shock to the drive may cause damage to it, data corruption, etc..

Do not subject the drive to extreme shock such as dropping, upsetting or crashing against other objects.

Do not touch the top cover since application of force to it may cause damage to the drive.

Do not stack the drive on another drive or on other parts etc. or stack them on top of it during

storage or transportation.

Shock or weight may cause parts distortion etc..

Labels and the like attached to the drive are also used as a seal for maintenance of its

performance.

Do not remove them from the drive.

Attachment of dielectric materials such as metal powder, liquid, etc. to live parts such as

printed circuit board patterns or pins etc. may cause damage to the drive.

Avoid attachment of these materials.

Do not place objects which generate magnetic fields such as magnets, speakers, etc. near the

drive.

Magnetism may cause damage to the drive or data loss.

2. SCOPE

This document describes the specifications of the following model, MK3006GAL

/MK4006GAH/MK6006GAH of 1.8- inch type Winchester disk drives.

.

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The MK3006GAL/MK4006GAH/MK6006GAH which is noted hereinafter as

MK3006GAL/MK4006GAH/MK6006GAH or as the drive comprises a series of intelligent disk

drives .

The drive features an ATA-2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 interface embedded controller that requires a simplified adapter

board for interfacing to an AT or AT compatible bus. The drives employ Winchester technology and a closed

loop servo control system which have made high recording density of 149.6 M bit/mm

2

(96.5G

bit/in

2

)(MK3006GAL/MK6006GAH), 131.7 M bit/mm

2

(85.0G bit/in

2

)(MK4006GAH)and average access time

of 15 msec with highest reliability of 300,000 hours for MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) possible.

The drive is distinctive for its small and light body.

The

MK3006GAL/MK4006GAH/MK6006GAH consists of an HDA (Head Disk Assembly) and a

printed circuit board. The HDA has a sealed module which contains a disk spindle assembly, a head

actuator assembly and an air filtration system. This HDA adopts Winchester technology which enhances

high reliability. The actuator is a rotary voice coil motor which enables high-speed access.

The disk is driven directly by a DC spindle motor. Air filtration is provided by a high performance air filtration

system using both breather and circulation filters.

The drive provides a carriage lock mechanism which is activated automatically upon power down in order to

prevent head/media from being damaged when it is not operating or under shipment.

The printed circuit board which is set externally to the HDA and equipped with all the electric circuitry

necessary to operate the drive except the head drivers . The power supply and interface signal connectors

are mounted on the board. Only the head control IC’s are located within the HDA. The circuitry perform the

following functions:

Read/Write, Task File Control, Spindle Motor Control, Seek and Head Positioning Servo Control, Abnormal

Condition Detection and Shock Sensor Control.

Do not disassemble, remodel or repair.

Disassembly, remodeling or repair may cause injury,

failure, or data loss.

There is a certain probability of the drive causing failure including data error or data

loss.

Take preventive steps such as backing up data etc. without exception in order to

prevent loss etc. in cases where data loss may result in loss or damage.

Do not touch the top cover since application of force to it may cause damage to the

drive.

Do not stack the drive on another drive or on other parts etc. or stack them on top of

it during storage or transportation.

Shock or weight may cause parts distortion etc..

Labels and the like attached to the drive are also used as hermetic sealing for

maintenance of its performance.

Do not remove them from the drive.

The drive can be installed in all axes (6 directions).

8.3 Mounting Instructions

Take anti-static measures in order to avoid damage to the drive when handling it.

The drive uses parts susceptible to damage due to ESD (electrostatic discharge).

Wear ESD proof wrist strap in accordance with the usage specified when handling

a drive that is not in an anti-static protection bag.

Extreme shock to the drive may cause damage to it, data corruption, etc..

Do not subject the drive to extreme shock such as dropping, upsetting or crashing

against other objects.

Do not place objects which generate magnetic fields such as magnets, speakers,

etc. near the drive.

Magnetism may cause damage to the drive or data loss.

8.3.1 Installation

1) The drive should be interconnected of mounted carefully on the surface of 0.1mm or less flatness to avoid

excessive distortion.

2) The drive can be easily damaged by shocks. In order to prevent the damege, avoid giving shock to the

drive.

3) Don’t apply any force to the top cover.

4) The drive contains several parts which may be easily damaged by ESD(Electric Static Discharge). Avoid

touching the interface connector pins and surface of PCB.

5) The temperature of top cover and the base must always be kept under 65°C to maintain the required

reliability. (If the drive runs continuousely or spins-up frequently, the temperature of the top cover may rise

to 15°C maximum. If the drive is used in ambient temperature of 50 °C or more, it should be kept where

adequate ventilation is available to keep the temperature of top cover under 65°C)

6) Be careful when removing the drive from the host device. The drive may have heated up during operation.

7) Do not disassemble, modify or repair.

8) A rattle heard when the drive is moved is not a sign of failure.

9) Provision for tying the DC logic ground and the chassis ground together or for separating these ground is

user specific.

Agreeable locations of chassis ground are in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
